Lesson learned: Processing is a beast to work with for complex modal UI’s — unless you really do your homework and design your own framework beforehand (I didn’t).
Sorry if the code’s a bit complex/ugly at parts (in case you’re looking).
Interestingly, the sounds produced from this can sound spectacular through deep reverbs and other processing. They’re almost the same amplitude at all frequencies in their range, quite unlike natural harmonic spectra. Try running a steep resonant bandpass across some of the more complex sounds.
This is very cool. Can you add “non real time” render option so we can run a VERY complex and long patterns?
